Wait, those two dust spot are supposed to replace L/R5 ? That's bloody useless, who's gonna give up aiming or moving to use that ?
L4/R4 are paddles on the back of the controller. The other additional two buttons M1 and M2 are those you see right at the bottom.

There's nothing to say it won't be, but they've only just announced it.

QuoteWhat are your thoughts on this?
In spite of how they say they don't intend to replace people, I'm sure that those who lost their jobs are delighted to hear that they've been replaced with what's basically the modern equivalent to the Gibberish Generator.
What? You don't like glue with your pizza?

ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree DLC update causing problems on Steam Deck / Linux

As someone who does not have the DLC, the EAC issue is still there and not yet fixed.

Looking on the Steam forum, there's a few posts about it happening and not all from Linux/Steam Deck, so may be a wider issue and still happens for people with the DLC.

Quoting: kit89Do the above gog links fail to open for anyone else?
The links are the same ones we always use as a GOG Affiliate. I did notice ublock recently just refuses to let them even open, so it’s a plugin issue.

If a plugin you use doesn't even tell you anything, I would consider that a bug and there's nothing I can personally do about it.

Also, article updated with the Amazon Luna info now live.

Squad, Offworld's tactical FPS should now run better on Linux with EAC issues fixed

Quoting: Dmitri SeletskiJust for those who think its supported by actual dev, we have seen devs changing mind and removing compatibility before.
I personally wont consider title, till it's 50% or less in price. If I risk - it gotta be good value.
Anti-cheat has to be intentionally turned on for us for it to work. Squad has worked for a long time, it’s Glibc that broke it and other titles.

Seems like another reminder that just because someone previously worked for a big name (EA), on a big game (The Sims) doesn't mean they can deal with a new team very well. People put far too much faith in names over actual true ability to run something.
